Maricopa County officials say it’s too late to remove Randy Kaufman from the ballot in the race for a college district board.
The report says the incident began when an officer with the Maricopa County Community Colleges Police approached Kaufman’s parked vehicle and saw the man with his pants down.
“[Kaufman] appeared to be looking at a cell phone in one hand,” the police report said. “I immediately became alarmed as I saw [Kaufman] had his pants down mid-thigh and was exposed showing his fully erect nude penis. [Kaufman] was manipulating his genitals in a masturbatory manner.”
The officer said Kaufman didn’t seem to notice the officer at first, but that Kaufman was in view of a nearby bicyclist and a preschool where children were playing outside. When confronted, the officer said, Kaufman apologized for the act.
THE THIN BLUE LINE
“I’m sorry,” Kaufman said, according to the report. “I fucked up. I’m really stressed.” Kaufman, who told police he worked as an officer with the Arizona Department of Corrections for 27 years, said he didn’t know there was a preschool just feet away, according to the report.
Surprise, Surprise, He’s a Trumper!
According to what appears to be the defendant’s Facebook page(given the user’s name and expressed candidacy for the college board noted above), Kaufman is an avid Donald Trump supporter who has opposed vaccine mandates, mask mandates, and has supported trucker convoys and “election integrity.”
